CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/101,075, filed Jun. 2, 2016, which is a national stage application under 35 U.S.C. 371 and claims the benefit of PCT Application No. PCT/JP2014/082212 having an international filing date of Dec. 5, 2014, which designed the United States, which PCT application claimed the benefit of Japanese Priority Patent Application JP 2013-258860 filed Dec. 16, 2013, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor element, a manufacturing method of a semiconductor element, and an electronic apparatus, and particularly relates to a semiconductor element, a manufacturing method of a semiconductor element, and an electronic apparatus, which enable suppression of crack occurrences and leaks.

BACKGROUND ART

When the chip size package (CSP) having a through silicon via (TSV) in its structure proposed in Patent Literature 1 was mounted to a substrate and subjected to a temperature cycle test, an insulating film (such as SiO and SiN) that is a layer under RDL_CU sometimes cracked. This is because SiO and SiN have a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is 1 to 2 digits smaller than materials around SiO and SiN, such that temperature cycle causes a large stress to be generated.

Specifically, the CTE of each material is 17 ppm for Cu, 0.6 ppm for SiO, 1.0 ppm for SiN, 3.2 ppm for Si, 55 ppm for SM, 31 ppm for solder, and 15 to 20 ppm for a substrate. The insulating film is subjected to both a stress caused by the CTE difference (16 ppm) from Cu and a stress caused by the CTE difference (2.6 ppm) from Si at the same time.

As a countermeasure to this, Patent Literature 2 proposes a method of setting the CTE of the insulating film between Si and metal.

The plurality of pixel transistors may be constituted by, for example, three transistors including a transfer transistor, a reset transistor, and an amplification transistor. Furthermore, a selection transistor may be added so that the pixel transistors are constituted by four transistors. The equivalent circuit of each pixel 2 (unit pixel) is similar to any known equivalent circuit, and therefore detailed description is omitted here.

1. First Embodiment

<Cross-Sectional Example of Solid-State Imaging Element>

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating a configuration of a solid-state imaging element to which the semiconductor element according to the present technology is applied. In an example of FIG. 2, a solid-state imaging element is illustrated as an example of a chip size package (CSP) having in its structure a through silicon via (TSV) mounted in a substrate.

In a solid-state imaging element 51 according to the example of FIG. 2, an SiO2 layer 62 is formed on an Si substrate 64 as a support substrate, and an Si layer 61 is formed thereon. An AL pad 63 is embedded in the SiO2 layer 62, and a TSV 52 having the AL pad 63 on its bottom is formed in the SiO2 layer 62 and the Si substrate 64.

In this example, the TSV 52 has, for example, a diameter of 70 μm and a depth of 100 μm. A via inner insulating film 65 and a via inner insulating film 66 a are laminated to a side wall portion of the inside of the TSV 52. Furthermore, a field top insulating film 66 b extending from the via inner insulating film 66 a is illustrated on a field that is the lower surface of the Si substrate 64 in the diagram.

In addition, a metal wiring 67 is provided with 10 μm such that it covers the inside of the TSV 52. On the metal wiring 67, a solder ball 69 is formed, and a solder mask 68 is formed.

Here, Si of the Si substrate 64 has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of 3.2 ppm, and a redistribution layer (RDL)_CU used as the metal wiring 67 has a CTE of 17 ppm.

In the present technology, an insulating film of a film type having a CTE between those of metal and Si is used under the metal wiring 67, and the side wall portion of the TSV 52 has a structure in which the insulating film is laminated to a plasma oxide film: P—SiO (1 μm) having good coverage as the via inner insulating film 65. The coverage refers to a ratio in film thickness between on the field and on the bottom. It is noted that a film other than the plasma oxide film may be used, as long as it has good coverage. For example, P—SiON and P—SiO may be used.

In the example of FIG. 2. SiOC is used with a thickness of 0.1 μm and 2 μm respectively in the via inner insulating film 66 a and in the field top insulating film 66 b continuous to the via inner insulating film 66 a as an insulating film having a CTE that is between those of metal and Si. It is noted that the support substrate is not limited to Si, and a material having a larger CTE may be used for the support substrate.

SiOC has a CTE of 11 ppm, which differs from Si by 7.8 ppm and from CU by 6 ppm. That is, the CTE is between those of metal and Si.

Since the insulating film having a CTE between those of metal and Si is placed under the metal wiring as described above, stress concentration on the insulating film can be eliminated, enabling suppression of crack occurrences. In addition, the TSV bottom (side wall portion) has a laminated structure of the insulating film and the P—SiO having good coverage. This can suppress leaks in the via bottom, thereby improving reliability of a semiconductor having a CSP structure.

It is noted that the insulating film having a CTE between those of metal and Si is not limited to the above-described SiOC, and the following film type may also be used.

SiC has a CTE of 4.4 ppm, which differs from Si by 1.2 ppm and from CU by 12.6 ppm. SiCN has a CTE of 11 ppm, which differs from Si by 7.8 ppm and from CU by 6 ppm. Al2O3 has a CTE of 7.2 ppm, which differs from Si by 4 ppm and from CU by 9.8 ppm. ZrO2 has a CTE of 10.5 ppm, which differs from Si by 7.3 ppm and from CU by 6.5 ppm.

At least one or more of these film types may be laminated. Among these, the value of the CTE between those of metal and Si is most preferably the value that is almost in the middle between both. It is noted that although FIG. 8 will be referred to in the following description, it is preferable that a film having a smaller CTE difference from Si be laminated on the Si side, and a film having a smaller CTE difference from CU be laminated on the CU side, when a plurality of layers are laminated.

<Manufacturing Process of Solid-state Imaging Element>

Next, the manufacturing process of the solid-state imaging element according to the present technology will be described with reference to a flow chart of FIG. 3 and step charts of FIG. 4 to FIG. 6.

It is noted that this process is a process performed by a manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing the solid-state imaging element 51.

First, in step S51, as illustrated in A of FIG. 4, the manufacturing apparatus forms, for example, the SiO2 layer 62, in which the AL pad 63 is embedded, on the Si substrate 64, and forms the Si layer 61.

In step S52, as illustrated in B of FIG. 4, the manufacturing apparatus patterns a resist for the TSV 52 having the AL pad 63 as its bottom, and etches the Si substrate 64 and the SiO2 layer 62 to expose the AL pad 63.

In step S53, as illustrated in C of FIG. 4, the manufacturing apparatus forms the via inner insulating film (for example, P—SiO) 65 on the whole surface.

In step S54, as illustrated in A of FIG. 5, the manufacturing apparatus etches back the via inner insulating film 65. At this time, the film on the field that is the lower surface of the Si substrate 64 in the diagram and the via inner insulating film 65 on the bottom of the TSV 52 are removed. The film on the side wall portion of the TSV 52 is left with 1 μm.

In step S55, as illustrated in B of FIG. 5, the manufacturing apparatus forms the via inner insulating film (for example, SiOC) 66 a and the field top insulating film (for example, SiOC) 66 b, and etches back the formed films. At this time, the field top insulating film 66 b on the field that is the lower surface of the Si substrate 64 in the diagram is left with 2 μm, but the via inner insulating film 66 a on the bottom of the TSV 52 is removed. The via inner insulating film 66 a on the side wall portion of the TSV 52 is left with 0.1 μm.

In step S56, the manufacturing apparatus performs formation of a Ti/Cu seed metal, patterning of a resist for an RDL pattern, formation of the metal wiring 67 by Cu plating (10 μm), removal of a resist, wet etching of the seed metal, and the like. This enables formation of the metal wiring 67 made of Cu as illustrated in A of FIG. 6.

In step S57, as illustrated in B of FIG. 6, the manufacturing apparatus performs formation of the solder mask 68, exposure to light, development (land opening), formation of the solder ball 69, and the like.

In this manner, there is formed the solid-state imaging element 51 described above by referring to FIG. 2.

<Another Cross-sectional Example of Solid-state Imaging Element>

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating another configuration of a solid-state imaging element to which the semiconductor element according to the present technology is applied.

A solid-state imaging element 101 of FIG. 7 is the same as the solid-state imaging element 51 of FIG. 4, in terms of including the Si layer 61, the SiO2 layer 62, the AL pad 63, the Si substrate 64, the via inner insulating film (for example, P—SiO) 65, the metal wiring 67, the solder mask 68, and the solder ball 69.

The solid-state imaging element 101 is different from the solid-state imaging element 51 of FIG. 4, in terms of the via inner insulating film (for example, SiOC) 66 a and the field top insulating film (for example, SiOC) 66 b replaced with a via inner insulating film (for example, SiOC) 111 a and a field top insulating film (for example, SiOC) 111 b.

That is, in the solid-state imaging element 101 of FIG. 7, the Si substrate 64 that is the layer under the metal wiring 67 is, for example, slit to form a slit having a slit width of 10 μm and a depth of 10 μm by dry etching or the like, and an insulating film (for example, SiOC) 111 b is embedded into the slit.

It is noted that the shape of the slit is not limited to the above-described example.

When the Si layer that is the layer under the metal wiring 67 is slit to form a slit, and an insulating film is embedded into the slit as described above, a stress from the Si substrate 64 can be made further smaller than in the example of FIG. 4.

<Another Cross-sectional Example of Solid-state Imaging Element>

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating another configuration of a solid-state imaging element to which the present technology is applied.

A solid-state imaging element 151 of FIG. 8 is the same as the solid-state imaging element 51 of FIG. 4, in terms of including the Si layer 61, the SiO2 layer 62, the AL pad 63, the Si substrate 64, the metal wiring 67, the solder mask 68, and the solder ball 69.

The solid-state imaging element 151 is different from the solid-state imaging element 51 of FIG. 4, in terms of the via inner insulating film (for example, SiOC) 66 a and the field top insulating film (for example, SiOC) 66 b replaced with a via inner insulating film 161 a and a field top insulating film 161 b.

That is, the solid-state imaging element 151 of FIG. 8 is different from the solid-state imaging element 101 of FIG. 4, in terms of the field top insulating film 161 b including 2.5 μm of SiC as a film in contact with the Si substrate 64 and 2.5 μm of SiCN as a film in contact with the metal wiring 67.

In this manner, the insulating film may be configured to include films of a plurality of film types. It is noted that the via inner insulating film 161 a may or may not have the same laminated structure as the field top insulating film 161 b.

Since the insulating film having a CTE between those of metal and Si is placed under the metal wiring as described above, stress concentration on the insulating film can be eliminated, enabling suppression of crack occurrences. Furthermore, the TSV bottom (side wall portion) has a laminated structure with the P—SiO having good coverage. This can suppress leaks in the via bottom, thereby improving reliability of a semiconductor having a CSP structure.

It is noted that although the TSV of the solid-state imaging element has been described above as an example, the present technology can be applied to any bump.

Furthermore, the present technology can be applied to a back-surface irradiation type solid-state imaging element and a front-surface irradiation type solid-state imaging element. The present technology can also be applied to a laminated-type solid-state imaging element. Although the configuration in which the present technology is applied to the CMOS solid-state imaging element has been described, the present technology may be applied to a solid-state imaging element such as a charge coupled device (CCD) solid-state imaging element.

The present technology is not limited to the application to a solid-state imaging element, and also applicable to an imaging device. Here, the imaging device refers to an electronic apparatus having an imaging function, for example, a camera system such as a digital still camera and a digital video camera, and a mobile phone. The imaging device also includes a module form mounted to an electronic apparatus, that is, a camera module, in some cases. Furthermore, the present technology may be applied, not only to a solid-state imaging element, but also to a semiconductor element.

An electronic apparatus 300 illustrated in FIG. 9 includes a solid-state imaging element (element chip) 301, an optical lens 302, a shutter device 303, a drive circuit 304, and a signal processing circuit 305. As the solid-state imaging element 301, the above-described solid-state imaging element 51 according to the first embodiment is disposed. Therefore, the crack occurrences and leaks in the via bottom can be suppressed.

The optical lens 302 allows an image light (incident light) from an imaging subject to form an image on the imaging surface of the solid-state imaging element 301. Accordingly, a signal charge is accumulated in the solid-state imaging element 301 for a certain period of time. The shutter device 303 controls a light illuminating period and a light shielding period to the solid-state imaging element 301.

The drive circuit 304 supplies a drive signal for controlling a signal transfer action by the solid-state imaging element 301 and a shutter action by the shutter device 303. The solid-state imaging element 301 transfers a signal according to a drive signal (a timing signal) supplied from the drive circuit 304. The signal processing circuit 305 performs various types of signal processing to a signal output from the solid-state imaging element 301.
